El-Syd's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[mixertone]

Nice concept

Very original. good choice of music too

evilmooner responds:

Thanks.
We like this music too :)

[Shoot The Hobos]

Not bad

You should add intro screen and some gun sound effects, alsomaybe some sreaming or deathsounds. You should find some better music too, its really generic, try to find something that specifically matches the hobo theme, you know what I mean.

animationking101 responds:

lol..
i got pissed off wid it..
im gonna make a better version..im surprised it got such a high score fore a pece of crap
lulz

[Fun Blackjack]

hmmmm

Well made, but unnecessary as there are numerous online blackjack games already, you may get more sucess by inventing a variation, or even a new game entirely.

keyreal responds:

Thank you :)

[Symbols and You! (TUT)]

Altogether ok

But you kind of give a since that you may not fully know what you're talking about ie" im not sure what hit is" (hit is when the button is clicked)Coud've used more detailed explanations of creation also, because although for the most part, this was a fine explanation of what these things are, people who already know will not care and people who don't know wil need much more detail, to be able to even use the information you've given them, keep this in mind when creating tutorials, you should explain the creation step by step, otherwise they are not very helpful to anyone.

crayzrocker responds:

Actually, after doing some research, hit is actually the area of the button, which is invisible, that when the mouse clicks, rollovers, or rolls out, a certain frame is played.

Anyways, thanks for the helpful review.

[Quest For The GoldenSpoon]

Nicely put together,

the 2nd level seems almost impossible though. But great intro and it had an almost professional feel to it, keep up the good work.

sexyspoonage responds:

Thanks. Yeah, it still had some work to be done on it. But I find the second level to be the easiest, you just have to figure things out.

xo

[Drawing in Perspective]

Nice straightforward explanation

And I've definitely seen some flashes done by people who didn't quite get it, so it's good that you're doing this, you should have though, a menu button since otherwise you have to rightclick-next to advance once you reach the end of a section, other than that, good job.

BlackSoulHero responds:

There are menu buttons. Fool.

[Extreme Safari]

Well done

Nice gameplay, simple effective graphics and all together lots of fun. Pentax better appreciate it.

ChrisKempt responds:

Thanks, I think they are pretty pleased with it, glad you liked it!

[The Annoying Test]

hmmm

Not very original, there are loads of "random" tests like this one on Newgrounds, and also, It really does need some backround music and maybe some button sounds, how did you try to import your sounds, to library or to stage? If you have trouble getting sound in just let me know if I can help.

Blacktay responds:

I import the sound (mp3, for example) to the library, but it says "Read error".

EDIT: Okay, I fixed it. Now, you can listen audip while you play this game.

[Advanced Sprites Tutorial]

I'm sick of shitty sprite flashes

And I think this tutorial could definiteley help people get off on the right foot when it comes to sprite flashes. It is very detailed but laid out in a very specific step by step format which streamlines it perfectly. You definitely had a good point too when you said be original. When people use pre-existing characters, they MUST be original in order for their flash to have appeal, so I'm glad you emphasized that point, all in all, this is a very well done professional quality tutorial, keep up the good work.

PaperBat responds:

Thanks, i'm glad to hear we succeeded in doing what we wanted to do :)

[Simpsons Arcade ONLINE]

The game loads

but then won't connect to where it's supposed to, it seems like it would be a cool game, but you should always test things to make sure they work before they are uploaded.

Explain responds:

I appologise for the up time of the server... it was the only free-hosting one I could find.
